Sweet Corn Succotash Food

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CREAMY SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until well browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat in the pan.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the corn is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the corn mixture with the heavy cream in a blender. Blend until smooth and reserve.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the oil to the skillet with the remaining corn mixture and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the haricots verts and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the haricots verts are bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, reserved corn puree and pancetta. Cook until the mixture is bubbling and warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and sear until just cooked through, about 1 minute more.
• Stir half the torn basil into the corn mixture, then spoon the succotash onto plates. Top with the seared scallops and serve with more torn basil on top.

SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Use a knife to cut down the length of the sweetcorn to remove the kernels. Heat the oil in a large lidded pan. Cook the kernels and garlic over a medium heat for 5 mins, stirring all the time.
• Add the frozen beans to the pan, cover and cook, stirring every so often, for another 4-5 mins or until the beans are cooked through. Turn off the heat and add the chilli, herbs and vinegar. Taste and add seasoning, if you like.

SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook scallions, stirring, until softened- about 2 minutes.
• Add beans and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
• Add corn, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes.
• Add cream and cook, stirring, until cream is simmering and vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes.

CANNED SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Have ready 5 very clean pint jars with new lids and screw-top bands that have been simmered in hot water; keep submerged in hot water until ready for use.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and add corn. Cook until tender, about 4 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut off kernels (do not cut so close to cobs that the milk comes out; you should have 5 cups). Reserve cobs to make corn soup. Combine corn kernels and beans.
• Place 1/2 teaspoon salt in each hot empty jar. Fill each jar with 1 1/2 cups hot succotash, leaving 1-inch space at top.
• Place rack in a pressure canner, and fill canner with 3 quarts boiling water. Place jars on rack. Align cover handles so they are locked into position according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove pressure regulator from steam vent. Heat canner over high heat. Let steam release from vent 10 minutes, then return pressure regulator to steam vent.
• Process corn at 11 pounds pressure 1 hour, adjusting for altitude and type of pressure canner according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Turn off heat, and let pressure drop naturally, about 40 minutes. When canner is depressurized (according to manufacturer's instructions), remove gauge, then canner's lid.
• Remove jars using tongs, and let cool; you may hear the lids ping, a sign that vacuum sealing has occurred. After 6 hours, check each lid to make sure it is concave (another sign that it's vacuum sealed), then remove screw-top band, and try to remove lid with your fingertips. If you can't, seal is tight. Label and date jars, then store in a cool, dark, dry place up to 1 year (after opening, succotash can be refrigerated up to 1 week). Before using, check to see if lid is still concave; if it isn't, discard.

CORN AND PEPPER SUCCOTASH

Steps:
